Reviews
"You guys spent millions of dollars and you couldn't even fix the AC? Hot as heck in here. Also, the bathrooms have see-through windows on them, no privacy. One of the worst NYPL branches."
"Computers are clean and very good for school work. Free 45 minute sessions."
"The Best Library in Harlem! 1 of the few still open on Saturdays. Great Customer Service. Always helpful in many languages as well. They need more funding from the city. Stop giving away money to emergency.Don't belong here in new york city and start giving them to the agencies and programs that need funding like libraries"
"Bright and sunny main reading room. I love the light through the windows. The stairs are steep, but an elevator is available to the main floor, and another elevator goes to the upper floor for the children's area. Tables and chairs for people who want to read or study at the library. Helpful staff, good vibe. Busy place, but peaceful and quiet."
